Topic: What Do You Collect? (Read 1745 times)

As the title mentions, What do you collect?Do you collect loose, carded, MISB, figures or vehicles & playsets?I my self collect all of the above. I started to collect loose but have now focused on upgrading. I do have some figures carded as well as vehicles & playsets.My loose figure collection is complete with some variations. I would like to get more variations as time goes on.

When I was a kid I had well over 100 different vintage figures, but 20 years later and I have only been able to find about 15 or so of them. But, in the last year I have purchase a number of vintage figures, and here's the list of mine. About 90% of them are in very good condition (tight joints, hardly any paint loss), but only about 25% of them have their original weapons). Here's my list which is 57 strong...

Hi! I collect loose action figures, vehicles, and playsets. I collect both vintage and modern. Most of my vintage collection I accumulated between the ages of 3 and 10, but I'm slowly picking up the rare items or upgrading beat up versions.

I guess I'm a completist, so my ideal collection would be one of every figure, vehicle, etc out of the package. Despite collecting loose figures, I have over 100 modern carded figures. I'm not sure why.

I also have a more than passing interest in SW autographs, comics, novels, trading cards, Sigma ceramic items, and store displays (hey, if they're free, why not?)

I'm also interested in non-SW comics, toys, and anime. However, some bad collecting decisions have made put Star Wars as the ultimate priority.

I am the who when you call -- who's there?I am the wind blowing through your hair.

As far as Vintage goes, I have a near complete set of loose figures - mostly from my childhood with a majority of the POTF holes filled in later on. The missing Stormie Luke and Yak Face have has kept my collection from being complete for about 11 years now. I lost some of my zest to go after them when I found out the modern line was coming (back in '95) and they'd probably be included therein. I hope to pick them up soon just to finish off the loose figure collection. I've got about 75% of the Vintage ships and playsets as well.

I'm hoping to start working on a carded Vintage collection this year. My goal is to go after every figure, on it's premiere card, with no offers, in C-8.5+ condition. That shouldn't be too tough, right?

When it comes to the modern line, I'm an absolutely obsessive compulsive Carded and Loose completistfreak. Figures, ships, playsets - everything! Currently, I'm only missing an "opener" of the MOTDS and the Ep. 1 Battle Amidala, along with an Ep. 1 Eopie. Those are some pretty easy to acquire and affordable pieces from what I understand...

I collect anything and everything from the original trilogy. I have almost a complete set of vintage figures, about half of which are still carded. I don't go looking for vintage figures & toys these days, because they're just so pricey. If only I'd win the lottery....

I collect loose. I'd like to at least get one carded figure though, so I can know what it's like to open one of them. Or I could keep it to remind me of what they look like carded. I also collect vehicles and creatures. I want to collect all of those coins, but keep buying the figures first, before the coins.

I collect(ed) loose, mint complete, no real desire to expand beyond that realm and I still need to upgrade a few figs to get to true mint status. I love the vintage line though for all of its nostalgia
